Rating Foods from Buc-ee's



I've been going through the "World Cup Fans experience America" content and, for whatever reason, the #1 one thing people seem to be focusing on is Buc-ee's.

I have no opinion on the matter - I have never been to Buc-ee's in my life, though I have had one of their snacks: the Famous Beaver Nuggets.

In this video, Babish rates a variety of Buc-ee's offerings, and though the video is 47 minutes long and the title says "eating everything at...", he gets to less than 1 percent of the total number of foods available. Buc-ee's seems to be a wonderland of odd/unique food creations.

Formulating the Ultimate Fried Chicken



My biggest problem with cooking as an artform is laziness combined with lack of motivation.

My second biggest problem is that chefs present to you the best way to do things as if they are Moses coming down from the mountain top and my first reaction is "Why? How do you know?" Not in a teenage-with-attitude way, but in the way that I know I can lookup the best way to scramble eggs and find 5 different chefs with 5 completely different approaches telling me that their way is the best way, all while an infinite number of other combinations exist that have never been tried.

For that reason, this video hits hard. Even if I disagree with his conclusions, this type of methodical, empirical approach to finding the best fried chicken recipe is exactly the thing to get me really invested in a cooking video.
